Pre match - Netherlands v Chile
Holland striker Robin van Persie serves a one-match ban after picking up two bookings.
They could also be without defender Bruno Martins Indi, who suffered concussion against Australia.
Chile head coach Jorge Sampaoli might leave out midfielders Arturo Vidal and Charles Aranguiz.
The pair have both been nursing injuries and each have a yellow card to their name, so another booking would rule them out of the next match.
Chile have never won three successive World Cup games within the same tournament.
Teams:
Netherlands: Cillessen, Vlaar. De Vrij, Blind, De Jong, Janmaat, Sneijder, Robben (c), Kuyt, Lens, Wijnaldum
Chile: Bravo (c), Mena, Isla, Silva, Sanchez, Vargas, Gutierrez, Medel, Jara, Aranguiz, Diaz
Pre match - Australia v Spain
Australia midfielder Tim Cahill misses this game as he is suspended after picking up two bookings.
Striker Adam Taggart could take his place, while Ben Halloran and Oliver Bozanic are pushing for starts.
Spain coach Vicente Del Bosque is expected to make a host of changes now his side are out, so inexperienced players such as Koke could start.
Gerard Pique is a doubt with an adductor muscle problem, while David De Gea has a buttock muscle injury.
Spain have never lost all three games in a World Cup group.
Teams:
Australia: Ryan, Davidson, Spiranovic, Leckie, Taggart, Oar, Bozanic, Jedinak (c), McKay, McGowan, Wilkinson
Spain: Reina, Albiol, Juanfran, Iniesta, Villa, Torres, Alonso, Ramos (c), Koke, Alba, Cazorla
